thanks...I knew if I didn't get this one then I might be waiting a long time for another to come around....
I thought I would never sell a signed Banksy, ever, but when this became available to me, I actually parted wtih the Banksy....(and had some cash left over...the Keyes wasn't that expensive)....

but, it's the only original in my collection...so times are good!

[giiiant]

It's damn good, classic Keyes. Glad you got it.

thanks....

I know I'll never own a banksy original, so for me, this is as close, and as good, as it is going to get....

thanks for the kind words

nice stuff, congrats

[pezlow]

Morissey - what is the medium used here? Is it painted? What sort of paint does he use? Have you got some pictures of the actual piece? How thick is the birch?

Sorry for all the questions but I am intringued to learn more.

Quality.. very nice purchase indeed! anyone want to see more, check- www.limitedaddictiongallery.com/previousshow.php I did not have the balls to purchase at the time..t**t that I am

Hi Pezlow,

I can answer your questions.

I paint on birch panel that that is cradled and is an inch deep. I seal surface with a thin clear acrylic coat, then i add about 9 layers of gesso sanding between layers. Finally, I add 3 coats of titanium white.

I use Golden acrylic paint, the colors are light fast and they seem to be the best acrylic paint on the market. After the work is finished, I seal the surface with two thin coats of acrylic semi-gloss varnish.

For my drawings I use 2ply acid free bristol board plate finish. I use Faber Castell polychromos colored pencils, they are also light fast and will not fade over time.

My recent (2007) works on paper are done primarily with Winsor and Newton gouache. The work dated from late 2006-present is signed and dated on the front and usually on the upper left hand corner on the back.

I hope this helps answer your questions, let me know if you have any others.

Best,

Josh

..there we have it! top notch stuff!

Have to get a Keyes before I pass away into obscurity!!! damn fine pieces of art..utter quality.

Were all jealous morrissey1..

[cpo]

I'm totally going to get one of his originals at his next show! I'm only #76 on the preview list. With 9 pieces available! Yippeee! oh wait, damn!

[cpo]

Josh, did I read somewhere you went to school in Chicago.. maybe Columbia or UofChicago?



edited to say.. nevermind...

Raised in Tacoma, Washington, Keyes grew up surrounded by forests, and witnessed their decimation by the logging industry. Josh earned a bachelor's degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a master's degree in Fine Arts from Yale University. His work has been published in New American Painters and exhibited in galleries in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York.


you sure I wasn't actually supossed to be #7 or #6 on the list...

How come I can't see it? But sounds like a nice choice morrisey, original art is always so much more special. And thanks for stopping by Josh. Looks like a busy year for you.

I have been looking at upcoming shows for Josh Keyes (2009) and still was told that I was way late..the queue is already round the corner..


..damn!


..starting to realise that maybe I best kidnap him and lock him away in my cupboard.. ;D ;D ;D

[cpo]

jeez, I'm not even on any lists past this next show.. I guess I won't concern myself then too much..
